Every day brings a new blockbuster. Obama has lost the military, the State Department and the Intelligence community. It's one leak after another. He has made enemies of all of them. He betrayed them all.

We will find out every detail of Obama's abandonment of the American people and treasonous cover-up of this act of war.

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama met with Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta and Vice President Joe Biden at the White House on Sept. 11,
2012 at 5:00 PM—just 55 minutes after the State Department notified the
White House and the Pentagon that the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi was under attack.

The meeting between Obama, Panetta and Biden had been scheduled
before the attack took place, and the Department of Defense is not
commenting now on whether the three men were aware when they met that
day of the ongoing attack or whether Obama used that meeting to discuss
with his defense secretary what should be done to defend the U.S.
personnel who at that very moment were fighting for their lives in
Benghazi.

“Secretary Panetta met with President Obama, as the White
House-provided scheduled indicates,” Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a
Defense Department spokesman, told CNSNews.com on Tuesday. “However,
neither the content nor the subject of discussions between the
President and his advisors are appropriate for disclosure.”

The fact that the president had been scheduled to meet with Vice
President Biden and Defense Secretary Panetta at 5:00 p.m. on Sept. 11
had been publicized in the Washington Daybook--a planning service to
which news organizations subscribe--and included on the official White House schedule posted online by the White House itself.

The terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi began at about
9:40 p.m. Benghazi time—or about 3:40 p.m. Washington, D.C. time. “The
attack began at approximately 9:40 p.m. local time,” Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State Charlene Lamb told the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee in written testimony submitted Oct. 10.

About 25 minutes after the attack started—at 4:05 p.m. Washington, D.C. time—the State Department sent an email that went to multiple recipients, including two at the White House and one at the Pentagon.

The subject line on this email said: “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in
Benghazi Under Attack.” The text of the email said: “The Regional
Security Officer reports the diplomatic mission is under attack.
Embassy Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots;
explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is
currently in Benghazi, and our COM personnel are in the compound safe
haven.” It went on to say: “The Operations Center will provide updates
as available.”

In her testimony
to the Oversight Committee, Charlene Lamb indicated that soon after the
attack started, she was able to monitor it from Washington, D.C., in
“almost real time.”

“When the attack began, a Diplomatic Security agent working in the
Tactical Operations Center immediately activated the Imminent Danger
Notification System and made an emergency announcement over the PA,”
Lamb testified. “Based on our security protocols, he also alerted the
annex U.S. quick reaction security team stationed nearby, the Libyan
17th February Brigade, Embassy Tripoli, and the Diplomatic Security
Command Center in Washington. From that point on, I could follow what
was happening in almost real-time.”

According to Lamb, three U.S. agents used an armored car to approach
the safe haven at the U.S. consulate to rescue a U.S. security agent on
the roof of the facility and also to try to retrieve Amb. Chris
Stevens and Sean Smith, an Air Force veteran and State Department
communications specialist.

“Despite thick smoke, the agents entered the building multiple times
trying to locate the Ambassador and Mr. Smith,” Lamb testified. “After
numerous attempts, they found Sean Smith and, with the assistance of
members of the U.S. quick reaction team, removed him from the building.
Unfortunately, he was already deceased. They still could not find the
Ambassador.”

It was not until 11:00 p.m. Benghazi time—or just as Obama’s 5:00
p.m. meeting with Panetta and Biden was starting in Washington,
D.C.—that the U.S. agents in Benghazi decided to abandon the main
consulate facility there.

“At 11 p.m. members of the Libyan 17th February Brigade advised they
could no longer hold the area around the main building and insisted on
evacuating the site,” Lamb testified. “The agents made a final search
for the Ambassador before leaving in an armed vehicle."

But the battle was far from over.

“Upon arriving at the annex around midnight, they took up defensive
positions, including on the roof,” Lamb testified. “Shortly after their
arrival, the annex itself began taking intermittent fire for a period
of time.”

The battle continued, with the attackers now using mortars, and it
was only in the “early morning” that two more Americans were killed and
two more were wounded.

“In the early morning, an additional security team arrived from
Tripoli and proceeded to the annex,” Lamb testified. “Shortly after
they arrived, the annex started taking mortar fire, with as many as
three direct hits on the compound. It was during this mortar attack
that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed and a Diplomatic
Security agent and an annex quick reaction security team member were
critically wounded.”

Doherty and Woods were both former Navy Seals who served in both the
Iraq and Afghan wars. They were working as U.S. security personnel in
Libya.

When exactly did Obama learn that the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi was under attack and whom did he order to do something about
it? The White House is not saying.

“I can tell you, as I've said over the last couple of months since
this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three
very clear directives,” Obama told KUSA TV in Denver on Friday. “Number
one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever
we need to.”

Fred Lucas of CNSNews.com asked the White House on both Monday and
Tuesday to reveal exactly when Obama learned the U.S. mission in
Benghazi was under attack and who exactly Obama directed to "make sure
that we are securing our personnel" there. The White House did not
respond.

At an Oct. 25 Pentagon press briefing,
a reporter noted that “there was, in fact, a drone over the CIA annex
[in Benghazi] and there were intelligence officials fighting inside the
annex.” He then asked Panetta: “Why there wasn't a clear intelligence
picture that would have given you what you needed to make some moves,
for instance, flying, you know, F-16s over the area to disperse
fighters or dropping more special forces in?”

Obama Met With Panetta and Biden at WH As Benghazi Terror Attack Unfolded, refused help as people were murdered
